It has been listed among the highest-grossing criminal trades worldwide. When ARCA (the Association for Research into Crimes against Art) began, the media and the general public knew very little about art crime. Thanks in part to its efforts, the world is better-informed than ever, but there is still much to surprise and engage, and the stories of art crime never fail to intrigue. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book is organized into five parts: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e?Fraud and Forgery\u003cbr\u003e?Law, Policing, and Policy\u003cbr\u003e?Art, Crime, and Popular Culture\u003cbr\u003e?Theft and Security, and\u003cbr\u003e?War, Conflict, and Art. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book is the latest on art crime by the founder of ARCA, Dr. Noah Charney, widely considered the world's leading authority on the history of art crime.
